Courses in Food

Food is a field that brings together science, health, culture and industry: from product safety to nutritional quality, from processing technology to the promotion of Italian gastronomic traditions. Master's programmes in Food train professionals able to work along the entire food chain, responding to the demands of consumers who are increasingly attentive to quality, origin and sustainability.

The programmes include food science and technology, food safety and HACCP, quality control, packaging, nutrition and dietetics, food marketing and communication, new products, innovation and development, traceability, certifications and food regulations. Lessons combine theory, laboratories, tastings and company visits, with teachers from universities, food industries and protection consortia.

A master's in Food lets you acquire skills in the chemical and microbiological analysis of foods, managing safety and quality systems, designing new products, reading labels and correctly communicating nutritional information. You learn to combine scientific rigour with attention to the market, promoting Italian excellence in Italy and abroad.

Career opportunities include quality manager, food technologist, head of research and development, food safety manager, product developer, labelling and regulation expert, nutritionist, consultant for food companies, purchasing manager and food export manager. Opportunities exist in food industries, farms, consortia, retail chains, certification bodies and analysis laboratories.

Italian agri-food is one of the driving sectors of exports and continues to look for professionals with technical skills and market vision, particularly in the fields of innovation, sustainability and safety.

Many programmes offer company internships and collaborations with consortia and laboratories, useful for building a network of contacts and making it easier to enter the job market.
